Android Studio not starting when building capacitor app on linux virtualbox

TimE

I’ve writen a app, which runs fine just using quasar dev, open the drowser, and show no problem.

but when I do quasar dev -m capacitor -T android, it goes through the build process, and then just opens src-capacitor/android directory, but not android-studio, this is the output from the quasasr command

$ quasar dev -m capacitor -T android

️ Opening Android Studio IDE…
️ From there, use the IDE to run the app.

️ DO NOT close the terminal as this will kill the devserver.

This is all running in a Mint Linux virtualbox, and Android Studio starts fine, if I do studio.sh

Any idea, what I’ve not done, or is going wrong?

Tim.

I’m having the same problem, but on windows. I confirmed that the android skd tools and platform tools are added to path and I created environment variables that go to the SDK root like it says in the capacitor getting started and in the developer link posted by @dobbel.

When I run the “quasar dev -m capacitor -T android” command, it only opens the windows explorer to the path. It does not open Android Studio.
